Chapter 144 Elemental Transformation
The sword momentum had already been released and could not be stopped.
This sword, going down, it could be foreseen that Su Wanyue's delicate hand would inevitably be severed.
Such an unparalleled beauty, to end up disabled? No one could accept such an outcome. Even the disciples of Sky Heart Sect were inwardly hoping that this sword could somehow be withdrawn.
But it really couldn't be stopped.
Clang.
The long sword struck Su Wanyue's hand, immediately sinking deep into it.
It's over, completely over.
Everyone instinctively closed their eyes, not daring to witness the ensuing scene.
Chu Hao's eyes did not blink. He absolutely did not believe that Su Wanyue was someone who acted rashly. Since she had challenged, she must have absolute confidence. That was not arrogance but a kind of unequivocal certainty.
Although Chu Hao did not know where her confidence came from.
What?
Chu Hao's eyes suddenly widened. Su Wanyue's hands had transformed into ice. This sword came down, although it cut in a bit, the ice was obviously extremely hard and did not break.
Crack, crack, crack, on the contrary, the cold air spread along the sword to Supreme Elder Liu, and wherever the cold air passed, a thick layer of frost immediately formed on the sword's body.
What was going on?
Chu Hao knew that everyone had different physiques. For instance, he had the fire attribute, which could release flames on his body after activation. But that was just a form of power expression; his body was still flesh and blood.
But now, Su Wanyue's entire right hand had turned into ice, as if she was not a mortal but a goddess of ice and snow.
No matter how sharp the sword was, what harm could it cause to the ice?
Supreme Elder Liu immediately unleashed his full strength, and with a series of bangs, the ice on the sword shattered. He quickly retreated, his face full of disbelief, saying, "You are clearly just a War General; how can you transform your body into elements?"
What elemental transformation?
The surrounding disciples of Sky Heart Sect were all confused, having no idea what Supreme Elder Liu was talking about. However, the other Supreme Elders changed their expressions drastically, just like Supreme Elder Liu, full of disbelief.
"Only strong practitioners at the Upper Three Realms level can transform their bodies into elements."
"But this girl is clearly just a War General, how can she do it?"
"After transforming into elements, no force can harm them; only attacks that have also undergone elemental transformation can reach them. They are innately invincible."
"Although this woman's attack power hasn't increased, from a defensive perspective, she's already unbeatable."
"No wonder she dares to challenge all of us."
The Supreme Elders looked at one another. Although they knew Su Wanyue's combat power hadn't increased much, who could defeat someone impervious to all attacks?
Only Chu Hao had a vague idea that this was a unique ability of the Gu Clan.
Inheriting the War God's bloodline naturally had special traits. However, not every Gu Clan member could do this; only those with a sufficiently strong bloodline could.
If that's the case, could he also transform his body into elements?
Wait a minute.
Chu Hao suddenly thought that when he took Jin Yunlin's last move, most of the opponent's power seemed to have missed. Otherwise, the injury would have been much more severe, possibly even fatal.
After all, Jin Yunlin had already developed Starlight, making his attacks incredibly destructive.
At that moment, his hands had already undergone partial elemental transformation, but only a very small part.
He could indeed do it.
How exactly, he would have to ask Su Wanyue.
At this moment, the battle between Su Wanyue and Supreme Elder Liu was still ongoing. Su Wanyue's combat power had slightly increased with the help of the Power of Cold Frost, but it wasn't enough to compensate for the gap of four small realms. However, her elemental body was immune to harm.
Her elemental transformation was not like Chu Hao's half-hearted attempt, with only a small part of the fists, but could turn most of her body into ice, making her impervious to weapons and heavy blows.
She only needed to attack, without needing to defend, and immediately gained the upper hand. Supreme Elder Liu couldn't do anything to her.
Supreme Elders Jin, Gu, Yang, and Zhao had to join forces and attack Su Wanyue together to relieve the pressure on Supreme Elder Liu.
Su Wanyue had said before that she could take on all five of them, and it turned out to be true.
Body elemental transformation was normally an ability possessed by War Venerates, but it appeared in a War General. How could this not defy the norms?
What was five against one?
Su Wanyue, like an ice goddess, constantly transformed into ice, almost entirely evading the attacks of the five Supreme Elders. The damage she received could be ignored, but the five Supreme Elders had to defend against every one of her attacks, getting no advantage even with five against one.
After half an hour of battle, the five Supreme Elders were already in a dangerous position. At this moment, the Sky Heart Sect Master, Zhao Wuxin, finally arrived. He was not just an Eighth Tier War General, but his strength far exceeded his peers.
Su Wanyue suddenly withdrew her hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on the ancient cauldron above Zhao Wuxin's head, revealing a cautious expression.
She knew clearly that the Sect's treasure of Sky Heart Sect was an ancient cauldron, rumored to come from Ancient Times, capable of self-generating Divine Fire, powerful enough to threaten even a War King.
And her elemental body was not yet perfect; if completely engulfed by Divine Fire, it would not end well.
After all, she was just a War General and only a Fourth Tier at that.
"Miss, how about stopping the fight now?" Zhao Wuxin spoke, his tone calm, seemingly indifferent to the disgraceful state of the five Supreme Elders and unconcerned about the challenge to Sky Heart Sect.
Such composure was truly admirable, worthy of being the leader of a Fifth Grade Sect.
Su Wanyue thought for a moment, then nodded, saying, "Farewell." She turned and said to Chu Hao, "Let's go."
Chu Hao quickly followed. He had only broken a few hand bones and did not sustain serious internal injuries, so walking was not hindered.
The crowd watched the two leave side by side, filled with envy towards Chu Hao.
— After all, this was a stunning beauty with War General cultivation.
A War General at the age of 20, this alone was probably unmatched on Sky Martial Star. Moreover, she was so stunningly beautiful, like a Heavenly Immortal.
What good fortune.
Although Su Wanyue's pace seemed slow, each step covered dozens of meters, forcing Chu Hao to fully use the Sky Stepping Technique to keep up with her, leaving him no chance to speak. It wasn't until they returned to Bingyuan Pavilion that Su Wanyue slowed down.
"Thank you for today," Chu Hao said.
Su Wanyue just nodded, seeming indifferent.
"Sorry for dragging you into this," Chu Hao added.
Su Wanyue responded with an "Mm," showing little interest in conversation.
"That… what does elemental transformation mean?" Chu Hao couldn't help but ask.
Su Wanyue looked at him but remained silent.
Is she kidding me?
"Forget it if you don't want to say," Chu Hao pouted.
"Elemental transformation, theoretically, is an ability possessed by War Venerates. It transforms a part of the body into a corresponding element. For instance, as you have a fire attribute, you can turn your fists, legs, heart, and head into fire, immune to blunt and sharp weapons," Su Wanyue explained.
Chu Hao was surprised and said, "Does that mean invincibility?"
"For lower-tier warriors, indeed," Su Wanyue nodded, then continued, "But it's not absolute because only a part of the body is elemental. If your attack is fast enough, it can hit the opponent's vital point, causing a fatal blow."
"The higher the cultivation, the more parts of the body can be elemental. Upon reaching War God, the entire body can be fully elemental, fundamentally transforming. Hence, the descendants of War Gods inherit the bloodline, and when the bloodline is strong enough, the body can transform before reaching War Venerate."
"When you and Jin Yunlin clashed in the final strike, you too partially transformed your fists, neutralizing a significant portion of his damage. Otherwise, under that strike, if you didn't die, your meridians would have been shattered by Starlight, making you almost a cripple."
Su Wanyue paused and then added, "Jin Yunlin has excellent martial arts talent, and he also possesses an indomitable martial heart. If he were also from the Gu Clan and underwent the Ancestral Pool's baptism, his achievements would be far greater."
"If you underestimate him and challenge him in a year, you'll be more severely defeated."
Chu Hao smiled slightly and said, "I never underestimate anyone, but I'm also full of confidence in myself."
Su Wanyue nodded, then paused before shaking her right hand, a book appearing. She casually tossed it to Chu Hao.
"What's this?" Chu Hao instinctively reached out to catch it and then asked.
"Jade Wall Technique," Su Wanyue replied, "Your physique is a bit weak now. Cultivating this technique can enhance your physique and strengthen your meridians."
Chu Hao was overjoyed. Although he could partially transform his body, it was almost negligible. Cultivating this technique could significantly improve his defensive power, and crucially, it could strengthen his meridians.
This meant he would have the chance to use the Sky Wind Eight Styles continuously in the future.
"Thank you," he said.
"This martial technique is just something I acquired by chance; its rank is Earth Level, Middle-Grade, not much," Su Wanyue said as she walked into her room. Seeing that Chu Hao seemed eager to follow, she glared at him, making him sheepishly retreat.
Bang, the door closed.
"Ow," Chu Hao immediately clutched his right arm. He had broken a few bones, and with beauty beside him earlier, he had seemed to forget the pain. But now, he felt it acutely.
For a Martial Artist, bone setting was a small matter. Returning to his room, he found two boards to bind his right arm, reset the broken bones, and took a Bone Healing Pill, then waited for his arm to heal.
Soon, it would surely heal within ten days.
He quickly took out the "Jade Wall Technique," aiming to master this martial technique as soon as possible. If he had earlier, maybe he wouldn't have broken so many bones today.
Earth Level, Middle-Grade.
But Su Wanyue said even Earth Level, Middle-Grade wasn't much. How wealthy was she?
Comparisons were truly frustrating.
Chu Hao smiled and focused on reading.
Jade Wall Technique was divided into three layers. After reaching the First Layer, just a small amount of Star Force would make the skin like jade stone, both smooth and resistant to force, significantly reducing the impact of heavy strikes.
Reaching the Second Layer, the bones would also become like jade stone, and the hardness would rise sharply. As for the Third Layer, that involved refining internal organs and meridians.
Cultivating this martial technique required a lot of jade stone to absorb its essence for refining the physique.
